2. Select the My Academics tile.
3. Open the Classes and Schedule menu.
4. Select Search for Classes. 
   1. Choose the appropriate “term”.
   2. Choose the “subject” from the drop-down list.
   3. Type in the course number if you have it.
   4. Choose “Clermont” as the Offering College
   5. Click “Search”
5. You will add classes to your Shopping Cart.
6. Once all classes are added, you will then officially register for the courses.
7. Make sure you make it all the way to the end and receive the green check mark that says you are registered.
8. Verify that the class was added by checking your schedule.

If you are receiving an error, follow the Class Permissions Procedures to be granted permission for the following issues:

• Class is full
• Requisites have not been met
• Department Consent Required
• Instructor Consent Required
• Class is scheduled in a session where permission is now required

Once you have been given permission to enroll, it is your responsibility to register via Catalyst.

Dropping and Withdrawing From Classes 

The drop action in Catalyst is used for both drops and withdrawals.

Dropped classes do not show up on your academic record, and you are not charged for a dropped class.

• Speak to your academic advisor for academic implications in dropping a course.
• Speak to One Stop if you are using financial aid money before you drop a class to discuss the financial impact.

Withdrawn classes will remain on your academic record, and the associated charges will remain on your bill.  

• Speak to your academic advisor for academic implications in withdrawing from a course.
• Speak to One Stop if you are using financial aid money before you withdraw from a course to discuss financial impact.

The 100% Refund/Drop Deadline and the No Refund/Withdrawal Period are found on the Dates and Deadlines Calendars. The date that you utilize the drop action determines whether the action is counted as a drop or a withdrawal. (Note: International students will first need to be granted access to withdraw from the UC International Office if they are going below full–time enrollment.)

Follow the directions below to access the drop screen in Catalyst.

1.    Log into Catalyst.
2.    Select the My Academics tile.
3.    Open the Classes and Schedule drop–down menu.
4.    Select Add/Drop Classes.
5.    Click on the drop hyperlink at the top of the page.
6.    Make sure you make it all the way to the end and receive the green check mark that says you have dropped your class.
7.    Verify that your class was dropped or withdrawn by checking your schedule.

• Dropped and withdrawn classes will both show as dropped. However, dropped classes will not have a recorded grade, and withdrawn classes will have a temporary withdrawal WT grade.

A waitlist is a tool that automatically enrolls students into classes that are full. If a class is full but has an available waitlist (noted by a yellow triangle in the Schedule of Classes), students may be able to add themselves to the waitlist. As seats become available, students are enrolled on a first–come, first–served basis.

How do I add myself to a waitlist?

You will have access to waitlists as soon as your enrollment appointment starts. Make sure you have cleared any holds that may prevent registration. The last day to add a waitlist will be found on the Dates and Deadlines Calendars each semester. Waitlists are not available for Flex Session classes.

Can I swap sections is a spot becomes available in a waitlisted class?

If you will drop a class if you are able to get into a waitlisted class, you will need to set up your waitlist enrollment using the Swap functionality. Swap is especially helpful if you are trying to switch sections of the same class or if you want to switch to a different class taught at the same time. Catalyst will automatically drop your original class or section only when you are enrolled from the waitlist.

FAQ's for waitlisted classes are available here.  

Once you have either registered for your classes via Catalyst or your Add/Drop Form has been processed, you will want to confirm that your registration is correct. Follow the below steps to double-check your registration.

1. If you are not already there, login to Catalyst
   
2. Click on the My Academics tile on your Student Homepage.
3. Select the Classes and Schedule drop-down menu.
4. Choose View My Schedule
5. Pick the radio button to the left of the term you want to confirm, and select Continue

If the class is not showing in your Class Schedule, you are not enrolled.

Withdrawal requests after the last day to withdraw online as indicated in the Dates and Deadlines Calendars require an Add/Drop Form with instructor and student's home college approval. (The error message states, "You do not have access to perform this transaction at this time.") The form and student’s written statement will be considered in review of the request.

• A student will need to discuss the requested withdrawal with the course instructor.
   
• If the instructor grants permission for the withdrawal, the student and instructor will complete the Add/Drop form, including the student information at the top of the form and the “Drop/Withdraw Class” section at the bottom of the form.
  
  
• The student will submit the completed form with a written statement to the Senior Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs (Ric Stackpole, richard.stackpole@uc.edu). The written statement will provide an explanation as to why the student is requesting a late withdrawal and why the student did not withdraw from the class by the stated deadline.
  
  
• The final decision regarding late withdrawal requests resides with Academic Affairs.

After the withdrawal has been processed, instructors will receive an email with instructions to enter the withdrawal grade.

Students may be denied initial registration into a class due to course requirements or deadlines. Registration for such classes require an exception/permission to be processed.

9. Make sure you make it all the way to the end and receive the green check mark that says you are registered.

If you are receiving an error, follow the Class Permissions Procedures to be granted permission for the following issues:

• Class is full
• Requisites have not been met
• Department Consent Required
• Instructor Consent Required

First, determine whether the class is in dropped or withdrawn status.

• A dropped class will not have a grade.
• A withdrawn class will have a grade of W or WT.

Once you determine the status of the class, follow the instructions below.

Dropped Classes

As long as you dropped the class during the drop/100% refund period, you should be able to re–enroll via Catalyst. You will need to follow the Class Permissions Procedures if the last day to regiser online has passed.

Withdrawn Classes (Classes Graded With a WT or W)

If you withdrew from a class and wish to re–enroll, you will need to submit an Add/Drop Form:

• Only the student and instructor signatures are needed. (You do not need to obtain the offering college signature.)
• Indicate either on the form or in the email that you are requesting to re–enroll in the class.
• Completed Add/Drop Forms should be emailed to add-drop@uc.edu or submitted via the upload form. (Pictures taken from a smartphone are acceptable as long as they are legible.)

Note: If you also need to change credit hours or change how your class is graded (normal, pass/fail, or audit), you will need to refer to the those instructions because additional information will be required on the Add/Drop Form.
